"You!" Su Lingxue was furious.

She wanted to say that the truth is not what you see.

Although that was how it used to be, she doesn't want it to be like that anymore...

Knowing that it was pointless to say anything at this point, Su Lingxue bit her lip and walked towards the BMW.

After getting into the car, facing Li Min's intense gaze, she avoided his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I... I want to make a decision after the exam, is that okay?"

Li Min's smile vanished, then he raised the corners of his mouth again.

“I understand. After all, it’s not easy to get into a university in northern Guangdong. Let’s wait until you finish the exam. I’ll wait for you there.”

"Thank you, Brother Li Min." Su Lingxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Min smiled and said, "Then how about I treat you to a meal?"

After a brief hesitation, Su Lingxue agreed.

Hmph, you eat with other girls, I eat with other boys, that's fair.

"Fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight." Li Min stepped on the gas and drove with one hand in what he thought was the coolest pose.

…

The sun is setting.

Chu Yang rode a bicycle with one hand in the coolest pose.

When I got to my doorstep, my dad had just returned home.

Old Chu was beaming with joy; it seemed he'd earned a good wage today.

After entering the house, I saw him take out fruit and drinks from his bag, as well as two packs of cigarettes.

"The lunch feast was also quite good, with a table full of seafood, lobster, crab, and abalone. It was so nutritious, it's a pity we couldn't pack some for you to take home," Old Chu reminisced.

My mother, Tang Wenfang, was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a noise and poked her head out from behind the door.

"You're over-nourished. Tonight you'll have pickled vegetables and porridge."

Old Chu chuckled: "My wife made this; even pickled vegetables with porridge are delicious!"

"You smooth talker!" Tang Wenfang rolled her eyes at him, then said to Chu Yang, "Son, are you hungry? The food will be ready soon, it's your favorite braised pork!"

"Okay, Mom!" Chu Yang replied with a smile.

"I get pickled vegetables and porridge, while you get braised pork. The difference in treatment is too big," Old Chu shrugged.

He sat down, lit a cigarette, and said to Chu Yang, "When you're on summer vacation, I'll take you with me when I go out to do some work. You can do a part-time job banging gongs. You can earn fifty or sixty yuan a day and have a good meal."

Chu Yang refused: "Dad, what are you saying? Do I look like I'm short of fifty or sixty people?"

Old Chu nearly choked on his cigarette, glaring at him: "You can't even earn a penny, and you're already complaining? Do you know how much I only earn a day? Usually 120, but today I met a big spender and it's 200..."

Chu Yang casually replied, "Buy a house that's being demolished, and you can turn 100,000 into a million. You don't have to do anything; you can earn money just by lying down."

Old Chu twitched his lips and said, "How come I didn't realize you were such a braggart? I can't even beat you when I play the suona!"

"Haha..." Mom's laughter came from the kitchen.

"Stop your stand-up comedy and come eat!"

"Okay!"

After dinner, Chu Yang pretended to carry his schoolbag.

"Go to Da Chun's house to tutor him!"

Then I rode my bicycle straight to the internet cafe.

Deep Blue Internet Cafe: 1.5 yuan per hour, 6 yuan for all-night sessions.

A flat-screen monitor, a Win98 operating system, a keyboard harder than a brick, and an incredibly slow internet connection.

Chu Yang went to the front desk, asked for a machine, grabbed a bottle of cola, and found a seat, ready to sit down.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure beside me.

She happened to be looking over there too.

Their eyes met.

Li Qingshu blushed.

"You, how did you get here?"

Chu Yang gave a strange smile and looked at the screen in front of her.

Li Qingshu panicked and reached out to block the screen.

But how big were her hands? Through the gaps in her delicate hands, Chu Yang could already see that she had created a separate question and answer thread on the Tianya Community website.

What misunderstandings might arise if a girl injures her knee?

"Don't block it, I saw it all. Oh, it's a male account."

"You're not allowed to laugh!"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh. Anyone want to reply?"

The most popular forum these days is Tianya Community, which is one of the earliest content creation and knowledge sharing platforms.

Baidu's Q&A platform hasn't been established yet, so people usually ask for help on Tianya when they have questions.

"You're not allowed to look!" Li Qingshu said fiercely, like a protective little female kitten.

"Okay, I won't watch anymore, you can continue." Chu Yang chuckled and sat down in his seat.

Want to see? It's easy. He simply opened a webpage, found Tianya Community, and with a quick search, Li Qingshu's posts popped up.

Scroll down, and you'll find that the netizens' replies are indeed full of insightful comments.

[Dude, you're having a blast! I'm so jealous!]

Tell her not to kneel on the floor next time; it hurts to see her like that.

[It's probably caused by excessive friction, right?]

Looking into my innocent eyes, do you think I'm someone who knows?

Are there any other positions?

Please elaborate!

[...]

In any case, not a single one gave a proper answer.

Chu Yang turned his head and looked at Li Qingshu, who still looked blank.

While scrolling through the answers from netizens, I even came across Chu Yang's quote, "Once it enters the throat, it's like entering a deep sea."

...A typo?

It's definitely not that simple!

Driven by a strong thirst for knowledge, she patiently searched and finally found an answer.

Her delicate body trembled.

Her face flushed red instantly.

Then she glared at Chu Yang and said fiercely, "You scoundrel!"

Chu Yang said, both amused and exasperated, "Hey, what does this have to do with me?"

"If you know so much, what else can you be but a scoundrel?"

"Understanding doesn't necessarily mean you are capable; doing does."

"Oh, you still want to do it?!"

"I freaking... you're the one who wanted to investigate."

"snort!"

Li Qingshu could no longer sit still and fled from her seat.

Chu Yang smiled helplessly and ignored her.

Her home is nearby, and it's still early, so there's no need to worry about her safety going home alone.

I opened my drink, took a sip, and my eyes fell on the penguin icon on my computer desktop.

"In 2002, QQ was just starting out, with only a few million online users."

"This is also a good investment opportunity. Right now, Teng Ge should be in the stage of seeking investment everywhere."

After thinking for a while, he turned his attention elsewhere.

That's why he came to the internet cafe today.

It's just to verify whether the results of the World Cup matches have changed after the rebirth.

After checking, he finally felt relieved.

Just like in my previous life, the two matches that ended today had the exact same score.

Then he watched an ongoing match, France vs. Uruguay.

The favored French team had a dismal performance throughout the match, putting up a lackluster fight against Uruguay with every shot going wide, ultimately resulting in a goalless draw.

"No wonder they couldn't qualify; they played like crap."

Chu Yang logged off, grumbling, paid the bill, and left.
